Had to lie to fam that I was def going out and meeting my old school friends cuz my family is going out to a boomer party and I don’t wanna go there but they wouldn’t let me be home alone.

Was this therapy? Or something else? Just wondering because I think my social skills are below average
Social skills coaching in a group setting over Zoom. Really helped me pinpoint the rough spots in my presentation and conversational skills. Practice is super important for this shit. And other adults are, by and large, unwilling to the point of hostility to tolerate someone who's figuring out the ropes after missing out.
So having a safe space to practice with targeted feedback from a professional was really helpful in building up my confidence for a basic conversation.
But now I don't want a simple conversation, I want to build relationships, and I'm still struggling so hard on that.
